Kazakhstan is not close to Switzerland so this is probably just an interesting coincidence. These phenomenon occur relatively frequently so there may well be no connection between the two events in Switzerland and Kazakhstan. Still it is an interesting confluence of events.

Triple Sixes in the Gap in Time Between Foundation and Realisation?

I also noticed another funny little anomaly, according to Wikipedia, “The convention establishing CERN was ratified on 29 September 1954”. The LHC was restarted on April 5th, 2015. The gap between the 29th of September 1954 and April 5th, 2015 seems to be 60 years, six months and six days if you count it as the final two days of September plus the first four days of April. From another perspective, the event happened 60 years 6 months and seven days later given that the event took place on the 5th of April, but there does appear to be a gap of sixty years six months and six days between the two events, which does seem an odd coincidence when you look at the logo of CERN and see the stylised repeated sixes there.

Though it is probably just a symbol of Easter!
